A twilight for the complete nitrogen removal via synergistic partial-denitrification, anammox, and DNRA process

Abstract The prolonged start-up time and low total nitrogen removal of anammox hinder its full-scale application. Herein, application of nano-zerovalent iron and low strength magnetic field in sole and in combination to abbreviate the start-up period and long-term process stability of anammox was ca...
